10 Ways to Win More Group Business

We wanted to send  a note and introduce Cvent, the world’s largest meetings management technology company.  As 2012 rapidly approaches, it is time for hoteliers to set marketing budgets and sales goals.  We have created a white paper with 10 best practices to help you capture more group business from meeting planners and thanks to Cvent’s recent investment of $136 million, we are focused on building the Cvent Supplier Network to be your largest and most qualified source of group business.  In 2011, our planners will source almost $4 Billion of meeting business through the Cvent Supplier Network.   In 2012, we forecast that our planners will send over $5 Billion through our system. 

You'll Learn:
  • 10 proven techniques for winning more group business through online channels
  • How to increase visibility on eRFP networks
  • Advice for crafting RFP responses that leave planners with a positive impression of your venue
  • To use your proposal introduction to make your venue stand out from the pack
  • How analyzing your RFP response efforts over time can help improve your win ratio
  • Tips for using online tools to increase efficiency, allowing you to respond to more RFPs
